Fresh Healthy Vending

Non-notable company. The article has no reliable sources, and Google search doesn't turn up much outside of their own press releases. The article's main claim to notability appears to be that the company is endorsed by Mrs. Obama and/or the US Congress. I don't believe that is true. They may have lobbied for laws that would block competition from stale unhealthy vending machines, and they certainly applauded its passage, but there is nothing notable about a company being pleased when an act of government helps boost its market share by kneecapping its competitors.

The sources added by the IP and incorporated into the text by MelanieN are substantial enough that remaining problems with the article can be resolved by adhering to them. Since WP:AFDISNTCLEANUP, this doesn't need to go another week and I've asked the relisting admin to reconsider. Kilopi (talk) 08:10, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There have been a number of links added which are from prestigious and well known markets. I disagree with you, and candidly believe you should reconsider. There are links from Fox Business news, CBS, News 9, Bloomberg, and many other respectable media channels, highlighting Fresh Healthy Vending. This is a very notable company. — Preceding unsignedcomment added by 108.21.102.230 (talk) 22:40, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Although the company is young, it has received a lot of coverage from national sources. They were cited at the article under External Links; I have converted them into inline citations and I think they clearly establish notability. --MelanieN (talk) 17:17, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Speedy Keep after WP:INCITE After the inline citations added (and I just got here) it appears to fully pass WP:N with coverage from CBS, Fox Business and several local media sources, as well as the USDA. No need to trash an article that has coverage such as this. Jguy _Talk^Done 16:15, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Notable per sources. SL93 (talk) 03:09, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
